An aspiring music composer from The Australian National University (ANU) has won a major international prize for his piece for the carillon. Second-year student Caspian Scott said he was shocked to find out he had won the competition, which is run by Iowa State University (ISU) in the United States. His winning entry - Idle Spires for Carillon - was just the second piece he had ever composed for the instrument. The win is a fitting nod for an ANU student, with Canberra's iconic National Carillon a familiar sight for many locals. As an instrument, Caspian describes it as being "kind of like a big bell tower".
